Then I echo your echo!

 

What happens is orgasm. That is what people become addicted to, as far as I can tell. It is similar to an adrenaline rush which people can also become addicted to.

If both people are in agreement, no, sex cannot be a trap. If one person feels trapped in some way, such as they have a different perspective ont eh relationship than the other, they need to speak up. They are not actually trapped.

I have a guy friend who believes that women who engage in pre-marital sex are mentally damaged and it will take a very patient man to help them recover.


some people believe that sex produces a permanent bond, but many people don't acknowledge the bond created

so if you have sex with 100 people....u have a special bond with 100 people
A friend of mine who is not a Christian told me that. He said he has had sex with over 100 women and although he cannot remember them all, he says there was some bond etablished with all of them.

I'm just playing Devil's advocate

I'm leaning towards believing that sex is whatever you think it is
if you think it is this powerful thing that unites two people, then it may be that
if it is as simple but subtly satisfying like picking your nose then it will be just that.


BUT

the reason I started questioning the idea of sex driving people crazy is because I've seen a couple friends go crazy after sex, but as many suggested, it is probably more than the sex causing that.




another sex question:

is sex necessary? I've heard it said that the basic needs of humans is food, shelter and sex
is it really that important?
do I need to have sex to have a fulfilling relationship?
can I be in a serious relationship and never have sex with the other person?
if so, can such a relationship be maintained for years?

and this brings me to another question:
do we need the company of people of the opposite sex?
does everyone have an innate desire for sex? companionship? love (whatever you perceive love to be)?
are we really social beings or are we just enculturated that way?

Necessary...no. Not at all. As "Anxiety" mentioned, it is not even required for reproduction, also I believe up thread he mentioned masturbation...
Importance is a personal thing, really. In the grand scope of things, no, it really isn't. However, our culture places great importance on sex as an advertising tool. Pick up an issue of Cosmopolitan - every month they dedicate an entire magazine to little else but a discussion about sex. I would assume you could be in a long-term relationship with someone you never have sex with. That, again, would be a personal thing.

By "company of people of the opposite sex" I assume you mean people you are attracted to in some way? Many people would prefer the company of people of their own sex. I don't know that we need it. If we were never around anyone we were attracted to, it might actually increase our productivity and make us happier, but who knows? I think everyone desires sex, yes. Companionship and love as well. However, one can live an entire life never finding love or companionship (or sex, perhaps) and be fine, I would imagine. Or not. There is really no correct answer to any of these questions, you realize.
